Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells Combining more than one drug with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells

PURPOSE Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy plus radiation therapy in treating patients who have newly diagnosed anaplastic astrocytoma
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES I Determine the efficacy of carmustine cisplatin and etoposide given prior to and during radiotherapy in patients with anaplastic astrocytoma II Assess the toxic effects associated with this regimen in these patients III Evaluate this regimen in terms of fatigue depression excessive daytime somnolence and quality of life in these patients

OUTLINE Patients receive carmustine IV over 1 hour on days 1-3 oral etoposide on days 1-21 and 29-49 and cisplatin IV over 1-2 hours on days 1-3 and 29-31 Treatment repeats every 8 weeks for 3 courses Patients receive radiotherapy concurrently with the third course of chemotherapy Quality of life is assessed every 4 months for 1 year every 6 months for 4 years and then annually for 5 years Patients are followed every 3 months for 5 years and then annually thereafter

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 28 patients will be accrued for this study within 20 months
